According to REUTERS newswire:
BEIRUT, June 7 (Reuters) - Hezbollah and its allies in Lebanon's pro-Syria alliance lost a parliamentary election on Sunday pitting them against a U.S.-backed coalition, a senior politician close to the alliance said.

"We've lost the election," the source, who declined to be named, told Reuters. "We accept the result as the will of the people."

The source expected the anti-Syrian coalition, led by Sunni politician Saad al-Hariri, to win at least 70 seats in the 128-seat parliament. "We'll go back to the way we were," the source said.

  • Greatest day in the world!! God bless the pro western coalition.

  • Nasrallah Lost!!! Hallelujah!!!

  • .... what a shame for lebanon, the american hariri won.

  • At this moment, Reuters, AP and Times Online are all reporting the Western-backed coalition has won the majority in the parliamentary elections.

  • Despite the result, it is expected that both camps will share power in another government of national unity.
